This report describes the fertility patterns of American women. It is the second report in this series, which incorporates fertility data collected in the June Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS). The large sample size of the ACS (3 million households) makes it possible to analyze fertility characteristics on a state-by-state basis.
